chdman 0.146 crash

Hello, I tried using chdman included with official 64 bit mame 0.146 and it is crashing on one of the chd files I used. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit with a quad core system. The chd is b07jaa11.chd (bm7thmix). During conversion of the version 4 chd to version 5, it continues to utilize more and more memory until it reaches over 2 gigabytes and finally crashes. I used an older version of chdman (0.145u3) months ago with this very same chd file successfully. My version 4 b07jaa11.chd file is 961,306,235 bytes. The following is the command line I use to convert it:
chdman copy -i b07jaa11.chd -o test.chd
Can someone please confirm this is an issue as well?

There are known memory leak issues which makes CHDMAN unsuitable for low memory systems. Wait up until U1 is release with hopefully something a bit more stable.

Thanks for replying...
FYI...my system has 4 gigabytes of memory. At the time of the crash, I still have over 1 gigabyte of memory left.

Self compiled X64 version of chdman works fine.
The one included in the official download needs to be replaced.
I will attach it here for your convenience

Both have memory leaks, but the 32bit one can only allocate 2gb before it runs out of address space (not necessarily run out of memory). With 64bit you have more address space, it might expand your page file on large chd's but it will work.

I reworked a little script found in another forum (sorry, don't remember where) to do all the conversions conveniently.
Just take a look at it, and you will understand what it does.
Just put your chd-folder, "chdman.exe" and "convert_chd.cmd" in a new folder. Create also a "chd.new"-folder in there and start the script.
You will get a log-file to review all the SHA-1 checksums.

B2K24, big THANK YOU for posting the X64 compiled version of chdman. I'm a noob at this and was pulling my hair out with the versions I had dying out at the 2K memory limit. Yours worked perfectly.

this thread is 4 years old, using 4 year old tools is not recommended.

Is there a newer version of chdman than .146?

actually I'd be careful with that, there was a bug caused by refactoring in 0.176, it's fixed in current GIT, but 0.176 won't handle large files.
0.176 was a bit of a botched release all round really and should probably be avoided.

Yeah. Without going into too much detail, it was largely 6.1.0 GCC's fault as it was updated via msys2/pacman mere days before release and no testing was done on the new GCC. The issues with 6.1.0 have pretty much been fixed at this point, so 0.177 should be a bit better

The refactoring bug was introduced after 0.176 and fixed pretty soon after that (unless there's another bug in 0.176).

Ah, fair enough, I was checking notes and saw it listed as a post 176 fix, those notes of course didn't mention that it also broke after 176 :-)
